Re: Painting very high resolution textures workflow?
i loaded the marble earth asset in maya so it should be possible... the new maya file node is able to read uv tiles... its containing 1168 uvtiles each 2k... its baking all the texture to smaller resolution... maybe you could use this system to load it also in shader fx..? note: im able to paint on this monster asset in… -
Re: Convert lat long image to cross.
nvidia's texture tools contain a photoshop script called "cube map shuffler" that can do this. not sure if it works on hdr files, but it's worth a try i guess. https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop cubemap gen is a standalone app originally developed by ati. i'm pretty sure it supports hdr and… -
Re: WAYWO usage
The majority aren't "1-2" mb either, they're more like 4-8. In spite of that 29mb png file that is actually one of the lighter loading pages in WAYWO at only 134mb for every image on the page. Compared to 175mb for page 2 which doesn't contain any 29mb "outliers". Yet consistently on every single page, the largest images… -
Re: Combining multiple maps into one. How?
I don't think they mean a single 2k texture to contain ALL the maps. I would think a 2k diffuse, a 2k normal, a 2k material (spec, roughness, ao, metalness). Essentially have all the items on a single UV sheet. And never use JPG for textures. Ever. It's a lossy format. Use TGA/TIFF/BMP/PNG... just not JPG. -
Re: Temple of the Old God's (Environment WIP)
Another update from this evening. Got a low poly version of the statue from Zbrush so I can test it in the environment. Going to move the wings further to the sides to create more of a silhouette but other than that think its sitting quite well scale wise. Also started sculpting the stairs leading up to the statue. The… -
Re: Sketchbook: Barrie Martin
Here's my first attempt at a model in a fair while. It's a sci-fi crate/container I came up with. Not the most ambitious model but it was a start and something nice and simple to get back into 3D with :smile: . It was also my first time using Substance Painter to do the texturing and I really liked what I've seen and used… -
Re: parrallaxing / depth offset grass shader
It means hand-crafting the mips, or controlling the way the mips are created. Nvidia's photoshop plugin for making DDS files has some controls for biasing. It's a bit of trial-and-error to do though, and assumes you'll be using DDS container format.. Though you can extract the mips as individual bitmaps if you want, to… -

Re: 3ds max/ Maya updating assets in multiple scenes
Beware though, the Xref system in Max has long been a mess to work with. Buggy, crashes, update failures, file corruption, etc. They added a new feature called Containers which is a bit better. I've heard Maya's reference system is much much better. Getting the two programs Maya and Max to dynamically link together is not… -
Re: Zbrush Normal Mapping Issue
Are you using ZMapper? If not, get it here: http://206.145.80.239/zbc/showthread.php?t=031281 (you'll need to register and login to download the things, I think, but it's well worth it). The manual document available there contains step-by-step tutorials for using it too. I've had no such problems when using ZMapper, so if…
